Design research is an academic issue and increasingly a success factor for industrial,organizational and social innovation. Efficient methodical support is crucial. The fiercerejection of 1st generation design methods in the early 1970s resulted in thepostmodernist attitude of "no methods", and subsequently in the strong adoption ofscientific ways of thinking for design research. The situation regarding methodologyhas been characterized by unproductive dualisms such as scientific vs. designerlymethods, normative vs. descriptive methods, research vs. design. The potential of theearly (1st generation) methods is neglected and the practical usefulness of designresearch is impeded. The suggestion for 2nd generation methods, conceived asdiscursive instruments, as discussed by Rittel and others has hardly been taken up indesign. The development of MAPS is aimed at the support of practice-oriented design,innovation and research processes. The long-term aim is the development of anintegrated knowledge and communication platform for research through design. MAPSis based upon the idea of a productive reconciliation of the strong dualisms between"scientific" and "designerly" modes of inquiry and supports the emerging concept ofdesign thinking. The paper reports on the ongoing research and development processfrom MAPS1.0 towards MAPS2.0 and beyond.
Beyond Dualisms in Methodology. An Integrative Design Research Medium "MAPS" and some Reflections
(2008)
Design research is an academic issue and increasingly an essential success factor for industrial, organizational and social innovation. The fierce rejection of 1st generation design methods in the early 1970s resulted in the postmodernist attitude of "no methods", and subsequently, after more than a decade, in the strong adoption of scientific methods, or "the" scientific method, for design research. The current situation regarding methodology is characterized by unproductive dualisms such as scientific methods vs. designerly methods, normative methods vs. descriptive methods, research vs. design. The potential of the early (1st generation) methods is neglected and the practical usefulness of design research is impeded. The suggestion for 2nd generation methods as discussed by Rittel and others has hardly been taken up in design. The development of a methodological tool / medium for research through design – MAPS1 – (which is the central part of the paper) presents the cause and catalyst for some reflections about the usability / desirability / usefulness of methodical support for the design (research) process.
We currently observe an interesting paradox: on the one hand, a narrow and determined preoccupation with the world we actually live in, away from the multiple pasts and futures in which we are embedded. On the other hand, we note a recurrent appeal to transcend the present towards the future – without reference, however, to the questions, perspectives, value propositions and investments that might define the necessary steps for ‘moving forward’ in important areas of social, cultural and economic life.
In the pursuit of a relevant yet flexible foundation for research in the design disciplines, practice-led research has generated a tremendous amount of interest in the recent years. A designer’s knowledge synthesizes intellectual, creative, experimental and interpretative skills, arguably exceeding the forms of knowledge privileged by, and in, conventional research. The “Communicating (by) Design” conference seeks to investigate developments in the sphere of research by (or through) design. While our main concern originates in architecture, other design disciplines are also of interest.The conference will investigate one of the central challenges for the designbased researcher, namely that of communicating. Communicating here may be understood as a set of processes, activities and events, which take place on different levels in designing - from individual, inner dialogues, through the issue of naming and defining terms to a more general problem of the representation of design knowledge - in order to articulate a set of intentions and values to an audience (which may be oneself ). Exploring aspects of defining, framing and sharing within design, the role of listening will also be raised, as the attitude that constitutes connectivity and allows conversation. The relationship between theory and practice, or “creative” and “critical” modes of inquiry, will also form an important theme of discussion, with a view to drawing the contours of new “hybrid” research practices. We accordingly welcome different representational forms relating to designled research - formal, explorative and/or interpretative - reflecting both doing and thinking about designing. The “Communicating (by) Design” conference is organized jointly between: Sint-Lucas School of Architecture in Brussels and Ghent, Belgium and Department of Architecture at the Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden.
Abduction Revisited
(2009)
Designwissenschaft, Designtheorie, Designforschung ¿ diese Begriffe werden immer noch recht bunt gemischt verwendet. Wir halten Designwissenschaft für das übergeordnete Konzept, das die Aktivitäten und die Ergebnisse der Wissensproduktion im Design bezeichnet. Designwissenschaft entwirft auch Theorien und forscht, um neues Wissen im Design zu schaffen. Das Buch soll einige Aspekte des Für und Wider der Designwissenschaft erörtern. Es richtet sich an alle, die bezüglich der behandelten Themen nach Orientierung suchen. Das Buch wird auch signalisieren, in welch komplexe Kontexte Design eingebettet ist. Die vorliegende Sammlung bietet eine Momentaufnahme des Zustands der Designwissenschaft in Deutschland. Die Beiträge sind ernsthaft, engagiert, wenig ironisch und lassen Konvergenz in Richtung auf einen Konsens allenfalls erahnen. Es handelt sich, wie nicht anders zu erwarten, um eine erste Bestandsaufnahme, die, so hoffen wir, weitere Überlegungen, Diskussionen und Forschungen anregen wird.
This paper is based on the talk of the same title delivered at the “Dock of Learning” Symposium. I reflect on design research with an eye on the critical issues of our time. Design research has the potential to take on these issues; however, there are challenges. A threatening one, I see, is the divergence of design research and art research. I attempt to tackle this by examining Jonas’ Research through Design and Borgdorff’s Artistic Research with help from John Dewey’s philosophy.
